application to a magazine stencil stamp, it will be readily understood that by substituting oil or grease for the ink, and by eliminating the stenoil, the device may be used for greasing a pan or plate for cooking wheat-cakes, and the like, for lubrication, and for various other purposes.

Referring to said drawing, Fig. 1 illustrates in perspective, parts being broken away, a suitable application of my invention as applied to a selfinking stencil stamp. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same with the magazine handle removed, and Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section illustrating part of the outer frame or retaining means for holding an interchangeable stencil in position.

In the preferred embodiment of my invention a rectangular frame 4 of suitable material, such as wood, is first formed after which a perforated plate or spreader 5 is laid thereon, followed by a piece of felt 6, after which a thicker piece offelt I may be applied, and over this is preferably applied two thicknesses of cotton flannel 8, or

other suitable material, and finally a piece of thin silk 9. The thicker piece of felt I is preferably of slightly less width and length than the other parts so that when the outer fabrics are applied, they may be drawn down around the margins of the piece of felt I and held there by metallic frame I0, through which nails I I may be introduced, securing the same to the wooden frame 4, or, if desired, in lieu of the nails, rivets may be employed, passing through the metal frame I0 and the back of the chamber l2. The

chamber I2 is a rectangular, metallic, tray -like structure, having upwardly projecting sides cut away at the corners so that after the pad and frame, assembled as stated, have been inserted therein, as shown in Fig. 2, the marginal portions [3 are bent over at all four sides, thereby securely holding the assembled pad and frame in position within the tray or chamber l2.

At the center of the tray chamber a threaded 5 stud I4 is secured to receive the threaded hollow handle l5 containing the ink, and. after the stamp has been assembled as stated, a perforated paper stencil 16, such as are made on the typewriter and used in mimeograph machines, and the like,

is laid over the face of the pad, after which the frame, shown in Fig. 3, with an open center and marginal flange I1, is pressed on over the stencil, the sides I 8 being curved inwardly, as indi-' cated at Hi, to snugly engage over the rounded shoulders 20 of the tray chamber l2, thus snugly n:

holding the stencil flat against the pad, so that when the stamp is applied, the ink from the magazine handle I 5, passing through the perforated plate 5, and felt and fabrics, passes through the cutout portions of the stencil, and 10 faithfully reproduces the desired printed matter.

For re-charging the stamp with ink, the handle is readily unscrewed, filled with ink, and re-applied, the top disc-like portion 2| being flexible and forcing the ink through the fabric and felt is of the stamp when applied. To replace the stencil, the outer frame 22 is easily removed by spreading the end extensions l9, after which the stencil may be readily removed and replaced with a newly cut stencil according to requirements. go This arrangement has been found to provide a very simple, economic and quickly arranged combination of parts, which provides excellent printing and is easily changed from day to day as may be required. 25

Of course, it will be readily understood that various modifications may be made in the construction and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed. 30

I claim: 7

1. In a stamp of the class described, an ink receptacle having a separable frame therefor, an independent open work member at one side of said frame, and absorbent material at the op- 35 posite side of said member, means for penetrating and securing said frame, member, and material secured together, at their adjacent margins and an outer frame adapted to be removably secured adjacent thereto. 40

2. In a stamp of the class described, an ink receptacle having a frame, an open work member at one side of said frame and absorbent material at the opposite side of said member, means for penetrating and securing said frame, mem- 45 her and material secured together, and an outer frame adapted to be removably secured to said receptacle outside said secured parts.

3. In a stamp of the class described, an ink receptacle having a separable frame, a removable 50 flat open work member at one side of said frame and absorbent material at the opposite side of said member, means for penetrating and securing said frame, member, and material together, an outer frame adapted to be removably secured to said container outside said secured parts, and a stencil intermediate said secured parts and said outer frame.

4. In a device of the class described, a fivesided chamber, a fiat spreader therein, framing means for separating said spreader from the base of said chamber, a bed of fibrous material at the outer side of said spreader, a piece of woven material over said fibrous material, means for penetrating and securing said parts together, an outer frame, a stencil between said outer frame and. said woven material, said chamber having projecting marginal walls adapted to be turned over upon the margins of said woven material.

5. In a device of the class described, a livesided chamber, a flat spreader therein, a frame for separating said spreader from the base of said chamber, a bed of fibrous material at the outer side of said spreader, a piece of woven material over said fibrous material, means for penetrating and securing said parts together, an outer frame, a stencil between said outer frame and said woven material, said chamber having projecting marginal walls. adapted to be turned over upon the margins of said woven material, said ceptacle having a separable frame, a removable flat open-work member at one side of said frame and absorbent material at the opposite side of said member, means penetrating and securing said frame member and material together, an outer frame adapted to be removably secured adjacent said receptacle outside said secured parts, a second outer frame having an inturned projecting marginal flange engaging the margin of said material, and means extending upwardly from the sides thereof for engaging the upper part of said stamp.
